Hi Brian, I can only answer one of your questions:

I ride a swb under steer actionbent (made in Taiwan)
Yesterday I converted my indoor upright exercise bicycle into a recumbent with the same seat/BB heights proportions and seat angle as my actionbent. It is a vast improvement. I have removed the handlebar and as i pedal away i dream that i am on a python as I am only a few inches above the floor and my hands are on my lap or holding a book.


Question ........ I get much pleasure and satisfaction on group rides with other cyclists, almost all of whom ride uprights. When I switched to my actionbent, even after 4000+ miles I found i still lacked the same sort of precise control I had on an upright. The bent seems to have a mind of it's own.
How practical is it to think of riding a python in a group of other cyclists?


front wheel drive, low racer, hands-off riding, 26 or 27 front and back ....... have great appeal for me. I have a fairly well equipped workshop but no welding nor brazing experience, and at 76 wonder if I am not too old to start exploring a new field.


No.

One can be too sick, too handicapped, or too stupid but being too old is never a reason for not trying things that your heart desires.

i have a frame that I could convert easily to a flevobike, perhaps that would be the way to start.

Enjoy this forum immensely ......... regards to all, Brian in SC USA
